לקרוא את לוליטה בטהרן: החיים והספרים by אזאר נאפיסי, Azar Nafisi

2.5

reflective slow-paced

---

I was really drawn to this book—it sounded like exactly the kind of story I would love. But instead of a narrative mostly discussing the characters’ lives, I found myself wading through long stretches of literary analysis and commentary on other works. There were moments that genuinely resonated with me, especially when the book focused on the personal experiences of the author and the girls, but the heavy educational tone kept pulling me out of the story. In the end, it just didn’t work for me.
